Report: Israeli spy said operating in the Pentagon
Haaretz ^ | August 28, 2004 | Nathan Guttman

Posted on 08/27/2004 4:50:36 PM PDT by yonif

The American TV network CBS reported Friday that an Israeli spy is operating inside the Pentagon.

According to the report, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is convinced the spy has conveyed highly sensitive information to the Israeli government via two representatives of the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee).

The report says the suspected mole is a senior analyst who works in the bureau of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The person is also said to be closely associated with two senior Pentagon officials who are Jewish, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith.

"The FBI has a full-fledged espionage investigation under way and is about to ... roll up someone agents believe has been spying, not for an enemy, but for Israel, from within the office of the secretary of defense," the CBS reported.

CBS reported that the mole, whom it described as a “trusted analyst of the Pentagon,” had last year passed on “secret White House deliberation on Iran.”

FBI investigators are concerned that Israel may have used the mole in an effort to influence U.S. policy on the war in Iraq.

The FBI has notified Rumsfeld about the investigation and asked AIPAC to provide it with information about the two representatives suspected of involvement.

The Israeli embassy in Washington issued a statement in which it categorically denied the allegations, saying "they are completely false and outrageous."

AIPAC issued a statement saying "we would not condone or tolerate, for a second, any violation of U.S. law or interests. We are fully cooperating with the governmental authorities and will continue to do so."

The suspected spy has not returned repeated phone calls from CBS News.

In November of 1985, Naval intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard was arrested at the gates of the Israeli embassy in Washington, on espionage charges. He was tried, convicted and handed a life sentence.

Israel apologized for the incident and disbanded the intelligence cell, of which Pollard was a part.

Meanwhile, Islamist and Chinese operatives are operating openly and the FBI has its head up its collective hindquarters.

I'm sure it's just my tinfoil hat's on too tight, but I noticed that when CBS and CNN did the story tonight, both made a point of suggesting this might be part of some mechanism by which Israel controlled the Bush administration and got it to go to war against Iraq.

Thus it occurs to me that some pro-Arabist lefty type in one of the intelligence agencies might have offered something to AIPAC, then outed himself to expose the sinister Joozish conspiracy to rule the world, etc.

What do you mean by that??

I'm not nearly as worried about Israel as I am about all the Islamist spies that I'm sure we have.

An Israeli on a news site said this:

"If the evidence is so clear, why don't they arrest the suspect and release his name? Why does it all get leaked first to the media? Could it be someone trying to blame Israel for getting the US into Iraq and the reason the US is having troubles in Iraq?"

This would be like throwing "RED MEAT" to those "KILLER" terrorists. I have no doubt the "TIMING" of this release is suspect, and since JFKerry is attempting to reenact the Vietnam War in the Iraq War today, this is perfect little bit of news to send the "KILLERS" on a rampage.

BS. Israel has never ceased trying to spy on us, just as I'm sure we're trying to spy on it.

Does this have a connection with the Israel men who keep getting arrested in moving vans?
